MENT
Given by the Pupils of the Pub
lie Schools at the Opera
House.

overlooking. The interest, even after
three nights entertainment, does not
abate. The majority OF those present,
however, were ladies, which shows
that they take more interest in the lit
tic ones than their stern lords. 1t was
goo1-humored crowd, patient
crowd and an appreciative crowd. The
little folks were fresh and full of life
and did their parts admirably.
The opening chorus was well rem
dered, and gave the entertainment
good send-off. The program was not
followed out strictly and in order, but
there was no delay. Prof. Stanbery
had the little people in good training,
and was very prompt during the ell
tire performance.
The march by large number of the
boys of School No. was well done.
The fan drill by the girls of School
Nos was welldoHe, for children almost
perfectly. The movements arenumer-
GUS and the time quick, and there was
not break in the whole drill. There
were sixteen girls from six to ten years
of age. 1.-The American Tourists
MARK Twain's Innocence Abroad) was
exceptionally rendered by Miss Katie
Henderson Of the sixth grade. The
young lady caught the humor of the
colloquy between the tourist and their
guide over the "Bust Of Christopher
Co'umbo, and the Egypt an Mummy"
as few readers are able TO grasp. 1t
was unfortunate that there was such
confusion in the audience at that time
that prevented every one from hearing
distinctly.
The little tilt at repartee between
little Miss Lizzie 6lohme and Joe Law
Their was good. Lizzie got away with
Joe badly.
One of the best things of the eve
ming was the operetta of Bobbie
Shaftos, with Susie Cofy as
Marie, Mamie Elliott rs Nannette ::
Arthur Hayden as Ernest and Clyde
Strauss as Bobbie Shaftoe. TWAS nice
ly done. There was not break in it
and Miss Susie played and spoke her
part unusually well for child.
Florence Marcy, Francis Hughes and
Emma Williams as three little kittens
were amusing, and were encored.
The graceful manner in which one of
the kittens turned as she was leaving
the stage and picked up bouquet and
bowed her thanks, brought forth a
storm of applause.
Nellie Lawther's boom was good
one.
Susie Coffey's rendition of Twelve
Calls I've Made" was done as well as
if performed by a veteran at the bust
ness.
"Mrs. Vatican Smythe's Party" by
the young ladies of B Fourth Grade
was given in the genuine style of the
art. A poor relation IAN aunt visited
a neice, and unfortunately came on
the night the neice gave party. The
aunt made her appearance in the midst
of the company dressed in the eldest
style, all in yellow, which caused a
great sensation, and the neice
tainted in the "loveliest" style i'm
aginable.
There was not performance but
what was well done. The training is
very creditable to the teachers.
